> almost as easy to use as Python

At risk of starting a flame war, I don't find Python easy to use at all so I have to question anything the author says at this point.

I was first introduced to Python 25 years ago and stuck with QuickBasic, C and assembly. I recently tried to do some opencv stuff with Python and the dynamic typing made even the simplest things exhausting. Then there's the virtual environment and dependencies situation which is easy to make a mess of if you don't know about it upfront.

I found a C# library to do the same and was way more productive and finished the task at hand quickly.



Did you try using a python IDE like Pycharm? Also python has type hints now and many libraries expose them.
